Concerns over Eddington plane disappearance
18th August 2019

Concerns over the disappearance of the plane carrying convicted murderer Jasmine Eddington, a Kerlian citizen, from Lauchenoiria to Sanctaria have been raised by Feminist Party leader Katherine Wright. The plan vanished over the Gregory Mountains, which was confirmed by the Sanctarian Department of Homeland Security on Friday night – a sign that foul play is expected.

The jet vanished 8 hours after taking off from Buttercity International Airport carrying Eddington, two pilots and three members of the Sanctarian Federal Prison Service. Lauchenoiria had agreed to extradite Eddington to Sanctaria after refusing the request of Kerlile, due to one of Eddington’s victims being a descendant of a Sanctarian citizen. The Matriarchy of Kerlile has yet to comment on the disappearance of the aircraft, in spite of Jasmine Eddington being a Kerlian citizen.

Feminist Party leader Katherine Wright today raised concerns about the plane, asking if the Lauchenoirian government could give assurances that nothing happened to the jet before departing Lauchenoiria. “Aside from during the Chaher regime, Lauchenoiria has had very lenient immigration checks at airports, and it is my concern that this leniency is also being applied to airport security. The government must reassure Lauchenoirians that their airports are secure in light of this incident.”

Prime Minister Josephine Alvarez took to social media to address the concerns, posting that: “There is no evidence that suggests something happened to the aircraft while in Lauchenoiria. Wright is attempting to use this incident to scaremonger where there is no issue. Lauchenoirian airport security is perfectly dependable. The Sanctarian authorities are investigating the incident. There is no reason for Lauchenoirians to be concerned.”

It is unknown what caused the jet to disappear, however the disappearance is being investigated by the Sanctarian authorities. It is expected that more information will be released by Sanctaria at some point.
